How much do you want to send on the frame? Do you want a hardtail?
Spec list is pretty good so far, you could easily find a better/lighter stem/bar combo though (Thompson/Protaper), same with the wheelset (Pro 2/Mavic or even a full set from Shimano), and yeh: get XT cranks.

Having jsut looked over the spec list briefly all I can suggest is maybe a I-Fly seat instead of the Bel-air.
